²⁴ She went out and said to her mother, ‘What shall I ask for?’

‘The head of John the Baptist,’ she answered.

²⁵ At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: ‘I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a dish.’

²⁶ The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.
